What would likely happen if you were to touch the flask in which an exothermic reaction were occurring?
The flask might feel cool to the touch as the reactants absorb heat conducted through the flask from your body. (This assumes that the reaction is happening at temperatures below your body temperature.)
When you touch something hot do you get burned from the rapid movement of the molecules causing friction or what?
Heat naturally flows from a hot substance to a cool substance. So whatever object you touch is obviously hotter than your hand. It is because of this temperature difference in your hand and the object that causes the flow of heat from the object into your hand. You feel this flow of heat as a burn.
Can helium be touched?
Helium at room temperature is a gas. You can certainly put your hand in a container of helium and touch it although you would not feel anything.
Why do you feel hot when the heat is the same as your body temperature?
Your body keeps its temperature when you're hot because of sweat. It keeps your body temperature cool even if you feel hot. People who don't sweat have to be really careful when they do anything physical or are in the heat. Some of them even have to wear special cooling suits.
In what other way does the body self-regulate?
when you feel hot your body sweats to keep cool and regulate your body temperature when your bodies cooled you get goosebumps to regulate your body temperature this are to ways your body regulates
Make a list of materials which are good conductors of heat and materials which are good insulators of heat from objects at home?
Generally, things that feel cold to touch (in a normal temperature room and no heating applied to them) are good conductors of heat (metals for example). Poor conductors tend to feel neither hot or cold under normal conditions (wood for example).
Does bronze always feel cold to the touch?
When Bronze is at room temperature it will feel cool to the touch. However in cold conditins it may freeze your skin on contact, and if heated it may casue serous burns if touched.
What does amber feel like?
Smooth and cool to the touch.

What changes can you feel during a rainstorm with your five senses?
you feel or touch tiny drops of water along with the cool air.
Why is a drill bit hot when you touch it?
Friction caused the temperature of the recently used drill bit to feel hot to the touch.
Why does your body detects metal as an cold object?
Because metals are usually good conductors of heat. When you touch metal at a spot that's cooler than your skin, the bit of heat that flows from your finger to the metal at that spot quickly flows onward to cooler parts of the metal ... leaving that spot still cool, and still taking heat out of your finger. If you waited around until the entire piece of metal warmed to the temperature of your skin, then the metal wouldn't feel cool any longer.
Why does a snake feel cold when you pick it up?
Because they are unable to regulate their own temperature like we can - and feel cold to the touch.
What does it feel like to touch a anemone?
When you put your hand on top of it, it squeezes you hand and you feel like a spider is grabbing your hand and sucking it. It feels cool!
When a cold pack is squeezed why does it feel cool to the touch?
When you activate the cold pack, you start an endothermic (heat-absorbing) process* inside it. This drops the temperature to just above freezing. The immediately surrounding air will cool down by conduction and convection. *The process is typically the dissolution of ammonium nitrate (fertilizer) in water
Is it possible for a food to feel hot in your mouth but not hot to touch?
If the food contains a hot spice, the food will feel very hot in the mouth but not to the touch. Otherwise, it might be a comfortable temperature to the hand but hot to the mouth.
Are shuttle heat tiles cool to the touch?
They normally feel neutral; neither hot nor cold. That's because in order to feel temperature, you're sensing the heat transfer. The Shuttle tiles were designed not to transfer any heat. Of course, in the hours after the Shuttle LANDED, they felt plenty hot.
